Project ACORN final report

Project ACORN was funded by the Joint Information Systems Committee for eighteen months under the “Electronic Short Loan Collection” strand of the eLib (Electronic Libraries) programme. During the course of the project period it met all of its initial aims and objectives, listed below, as well as setting for itself, and meeting, many more. The Project has taken dissemination very seriously and has published over 35 reports and documents on its web site, in addition to writing a large number of journal articles and giving many papers and presentations. As the written report output of the Project has been so full, this Final Report can only serve to summarise the key findings of those reports, and direct the reader to the full reports for more detailed information.
